Bradshaw- If Tom has any sense Brown gets the start and Bradshaw comes in when Brown has worn them down.....Brown on short yardage
David so far has been a big disappointment

Deihl- Maybe its time for David to play the back up role

Canty- Will require a roster reduction

You cant fool around with neck injuries, so I see the Giants starting Brown and working Bradshaw in a little at a time. I wouldnt be too hard on Wilson, he is only a rookie going into week 4. He will get more reps, and hopefully will continue to improve. Growing pains are to be expected.

As for Diehl, I would not mess with the continuity the current line is developing. Diehl seems to be a team player that would be willing to be a quality back-up at this juncture in his career.

At WR, I like Hixon, but would like to see Barden get some reps every game. The more reps Barden gets, the more his confidence builds. Plus Eli will develop a chemistry/rapport with him. Its a good problem to have at WR.

I like Barden on the outside, better than Hixon, while Victor moves into the slot on three wide sets. Hixon is the bigger downfield threat; but do you need another downfield threat when you've got Nicks and Cruz, not really? I'm sure we'll see both; but I think that building Barden's confidence is critical at this point. It boggles my mind that we have a guy with Randle's skill set, and he doesn't even enter the conversation. You've got to work him in too, he's not picking up any expereince on the bench.

Diehl has to sit, there's no reason to mess with the success of the last 7 quarters.

Bradshaw rotates, there's enough carries for both.

Canty, Hard to get too worried about him the way Joseph and Bernard are playing. They can work him back in slowly and make sure his knee is OK. My guess is one of the young guys is going on IR with a minor injury.

I think Brown definitely should start, Bradshaw was good in the past but last year was disappointing and hasn't shown much this year when playing, while Brown is looking good. Barden needs the position over Hixon. Hixon has never really impressed me as a receiver. He is just a standby in my opinion, meaning he will be ok in the position but never great. Barden has a much better upside and seemed to show that in the game. Diehl would retain his job unless something more happens in the time he is gone.
